Ten Lavender Beauty Products to Keep You Calm During Final Exams

Along with your sharpened number two pencils, show up for the big day with a little lavender by your side. Known for its relaxing properties, lavender can help keep your exam jitters in check. As an added bonus, smelling this sweet will make you the star of your study group!

"Essential oils can have a dynamic effect on emotions through their aromas," explains Aromatherapy Associates founder Geraldine Howard. "The sense of smell is the most primitive of our senses, and it's linked to the deepest parts of the brain which govern basis instincts, memories, and emotions. Lavender has been found to calm the mind, so it would really help to reduce stress during the exam period."

If you have a few hours at night to pamper yourself, try a lavender-infused bubble bath followed by luxurious body oil. If you're sprinting from one test to the next with no time to spare, pop a fragrance roller ball into your backpack to apply right before the clock starts. There's even a lavender hand sanitizer that will keep you germ-free! Now, take a deep breath and let the relaxation begin.
